I've made 4 fast simulations to check the %DD issues ... for the record, simulations are done with $500 starting capital and risk level adjustement to 1 ...
First one is what actually happened ...

Second on is with a forced 30%DD ...

Third one is with a forced 40% DD ...

Fourth one is with forced 50% DD and a TP objective set at the first support level below the first deal ...

What happens if we use a smaller account? Only for the real curious the last one is also with 50% DD, same TP objective and an account of $250 ...

The 50% DD hits earlier ... The reason is the rounding up of the 0.01 lots in lesser account. This has the side effect to increase the risk level of the smaller accounts ... and answers the question of the size of the account needed to follow him at this time: equal size.
Best & kindly regards,
